Sidi Mustafa Briggs on racism:

"Black Muslims themselves don't know enough about their place in the religion. And people outside the black community don't know enough about the place of black people within the religion. This combined ignorance leads to racism."

"It's all good speaking about the negative experiences of Black Muslims but I feel the way to move forward is through education. We need to be educated about our history and legacy in Islam and other people need to be made aware as well.

49:13 'that you may know one another' "

Sidi Mustafa Briggs on racism that he has personally encountered from Muslims:

"Never have those situations made me feel out of place. That's because I understand my history and my legacy as a Black man in Islam."

Sidi Mustafa Briggs:

"50% of the stories of the Qu'rān, take place in Africa.
Africa has a place in Islamic history."
